Wish there was an **Android Studio Lite** version of the IDE that is targeted to low powered devices and has only bare minimum features to develop an app. (fosstodon.org)

the SDK and buildchain work fine in a container.

use whatever editor you want then build in the container.

Nobody's stopping anyone from using vim and running gradle directly. ./gradlew assembleDebug and you're good to go.

I do this but it's a pain in the ass. They keep making it harder to access certain features without opening Android Studio (i.e. the AVD manager, logcat, app signing functionality, etc)

Also sometimes gradlew decides to just not build your project and you have to open Android Studio to get it to work. Why? No idea

I don't even use low power hardware, Android Studio just manages to be an incredible resource hog even on normal hardware

You code Android projects in VIM?

@shbhmnk @android
Just use https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools + code editor of your choice

You could try Expo if you know React

@doylio I'm guessing that does not support native Java/Kotlin development

[–] doylio@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

No it's not native. It's a JavaScript layer on top of native code that allows iOS and Android apps to share a codebase
